Myasthenia Gravis Is an Autoimmune Neuromuscular Disease Characterized by Weakness

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune neuromuscular disease characterized by weakness of the skeletal muscles due to antiacetylcholine receptor antibodies; thymectomy is a successful treatment for this condition in some patients because it:

A) removes all auto-reactive B cells from the body
B) primes APC to reverse their response to self tissue
C) neutralizes the autoantibodies from the body
D) produces proteins to bind the autoantibodies before reaching their target
E) prevents further miseducation of T-cell populations
